Self-Portrait is a 1870 oil by Károly Lotz, a Realism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
The painting is a self-portrait of a man with a thick beard and mustache. He is wearing a red hat and a dark jacket, and he is looking directly at the viewer. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's face and clothing. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking deeply into the viewer. The painting is done in a realistic style, with a lot of detail and texture. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
